As to the Bankruptcy Feature.

LONDON, July 19.-At q meeting OF the
Conservatives held to-day in Carlton, it
was decided, if general hostility should
be- manifested in the House of Commons

FROM FLATHEAD.
A Butte Man interviewed Regarding
That Region.


THAT Region.
Dennis O'Donnell, for the past ten years
a resident OF Butte, returned Saturday
last from a visit to his ranch near Penny's
Landing, at the head OF navigation on the
Flathead River. A MINER reporter sought
the gentleman AMI interviewed him with
the following result:
THE way to get to that country is ia.
miliar to all readers of The MINER, so !
shall not bother them by a description Of
the route. l regard the Flathead country
as the most promising of all Montana as
an agricultural. stockgrowing and desira-
BILE place to reside. While confessing en-
thusiasm, l am equally confident as to it's
permanency, productiveness and future
renown as a place in which to live, achieve
and obtain the comforts OF existence.
True, it ia somewhat remote at present,
but from now henceforth it is destined to
attain prominence. The country is fertile;
it's attitude favorable to the growth OF
cereals, fruits and vegetables understandable
now except from a long or short haul,
and the rapidity with which locations are
being homesteaded alone bears abundant
testimony as to it's worth. l have a claim
there which l propose returning to this
week. having merely returned to Butte to
settle my business affairs.
"You would be surprised to see the men
who are settling in that region. To say
that l vas amazed on going there is some
thing astonishing to me ever yet. Nine
tenths of the settlers there, the men who
have taken up claims, are from Butte, Ana
conda, or some OF the towns in our imme.
diats vicinity, who, having faith in the fer
tility of the section, have selected it as a
future place OF residence. They are men
familiar with the western country, who,
having cast about for a place to locate,
chosen the Flathead country as their
future home. They attempt no intrusion
upon the reserve, but are, like myself, con-
tent to homestead a quarter section.
II would not adj wise poor men to visit
that section. It requires something beside
q declaration OF occupancy TO comply with
the laws of the Interior Department and
unless a man has means Of subsistence, be
had better stay away. Those located
there have labored bard for their means
and it is only by economical and prudent
living they will be able to perfect taeir title
to their lands
II expect to return this week and l will
write The MINER more fully about the
surrounding Penny's Landing.
While in Butte l met Mr.. Hathaway, a
printer, Ivy the way, who has a claim ten
miles down the river. An interview with
him will bear out what | told you,a and
your readers hat it is the truth,
the whole truth etc."

How to Destroy Enemies.

To march through an enemy's

al He is truly great who knows
how to obey Christ's command re-
garding our enemies and those that
persecute us.
Nangfee, Emperor OF China, being
told that his enemies had raised an
insurrection in one OF the distant
provinces, said, Come, then. my
friends, follow me, and promise you
that we shall quickly destroy them "
He marched forward, and tho rebels
submitted upon his approach. All
now thought that he would take the
most signal revenge, but were sur
orised to see the captive treated with
humanity.
Howl" cries his first minister, "is
this the manner in which you fulfil
your promise? Your royal word
was given that your enemies should
be destroyed, and behold, you have
pardoned all, and have caressed

A Great Wonder.

There lived near Alexandra, in
Virginia, an old colored man and
woman, whom their acquaintances
called Daddy and Nanny Williams.
He had educational advantages, and
could read in fashion peculiarly his
owD; but his wife, although lacking
as regards erudition, possessed great
force of character, which she often
displayed in q manner that was very
irritating to her husband. When she
became particularly fractious Daddy
would take the Bible and open to that
chapter in Revelation beginning:
"And there appeared great wonder
in heaven, a woman clothed with the
sun, and the moon under feet" etc.
With impressive solemnity he would
read as follows: "An' dere 'peared q
great wonder in heben, a woman"
Slowly closing the book, be would
gaze sternly at his now subdued wife,
for the passage never failed to pro-
duce the desired effect,-Harper's

| ing for but an instsnt, they turned
and fed precipitately from the scene
of danger. One OF their number was
left dead On the square, while eager
hands set to work in caring for the
diving and wounded. From every
foot of ground in the vicinity came
means of anguish Here a police
man cried in tortured voice for help,
and there a wounded Anarchist gasp
ed out his life in framing some NAL
ediction on the police.
IL was horrible; blood, death, and
ali the horrors OF a carnage were ev-
erywbere manifested One police
man was killed outright, Matthias j
Degan, while scores OF others were
wounded, and several died at later
period from their injuries. No au-
thentic estimate of the number Of
anarchists killed can be arrived at,
but their death loss was heavy,
and the care of the wounded gave
their friends work for many a long
day. The wounded officers were re-
moved with care and gentleness to
the County Hospital and the Des-
PLANES street station where skillful
surgeons soon were in attendance
At the station and hospitals the
scenes of woe and suffering were of
the most narrowing description.
Mangled limbs, torn and blood. stain
ed tunics, agonized writings and
shrieks of pain told but too plainly
of the deadly nature of the wholesale
destruction. The presence of the
phy ysicians was hailed with unmista-
kable delight by the wounded men,
and for long hours after the police
men and the anarchists were treated
side by side in the station house.
Here, stretched on wooden table. lay
Officer Tim Flavin, above his heart q
dark red stain that told the cause of
his deathly stiffness. His life was
rapidly oozing away, and by his side
stood q blackrobed prelate. His
gallant comrades lay all around him
gritting their teeth in silent pain, and
heroicaily endeavoring to bear up
under Their excruciating agonies as
the surgeons probed their wounds
and dressed them. Death would have
been merciful relief to many, but
it did not come, and many were
doomed to drag out their burdensome
lives mained, crippled, diaisured, o
prey to weakness and disease.

How To Succeed.

A very successful business man in
New York attributes his success to
following closely these five rules;
|. Close attention to details.
And this means sometimes working
nights and during hours usually de-
voted to recreation.
2. Keeping out of debt. Regu-
latipg expenses 80 as to keep within
your income, and at all times to
know just where you are financially.
3. The strictest integrity. 1t is
rare that q dishonest man succeeds.
He does sometimes, but not often.
4. Being temperate 10 habits,
Never getting into a lawsuit.
Business ought to be 30 conducted in
such way that there will be no
need of lawsuits, and il is better Of
ten to suffer wrong than to 60 to

That l might cheer the child Of need,
And n t my pride 10 fstter;
That l light make oppression reel,
As only gold can make it,
And break the tyrant's rod of steel,
As only gold can break it!
wish that sympathy and love,
And every humaa passion
Tha: hgs its origin above,
Would come aud keep in fashion
That scorn, and jealousy, and hate,
And every base emotion,
Were buried fifty fathou-s deep
Beneath the waves c f ocean.
I wish that friends were always true,
And motives always pure;
/ wish the good were not so few,
/ wish the bad were fewer;
I wish that persons ne'er forgot
To heed theic pious teachings;

So different than preaching.

Appraised with truth and candor;

From treachery and SANDER.
wish that men their vows would mind,
That women re'er were rovers;

And husbands always lovers.

To be the glorious real;

With his supremest blessing.
